Performers, artists show off talents at fete

Today through Saturday, be sure to check out the North Charleston Arts Festival featuring some of the best local artists and performers showcasing their skills throughout the city.


Oh man, I'm going to get it for this one...but here I go:

North Charleston has an arts festival? You mean other then the pictures of seagulls at the beach hanging at motels and the area's favorite restaurant, Olive Garden.

Let this sink in: North Charleston Arts Festival. Yep that's right. That's an oxymoron.

This is North Charleston. If you want to urge them to come out, please do not use French to describe party. Party, festival or fiesta will suffice.

Also, if you want to urge North Charlestonians to come out and support this, do not use the word art.

Is this like the Special Ed art students who didn't make it into Spoleto or even Piccolo Spoleto?

Further into the story, we are given this gem: "More than 40 stage performances, including magicians, dance groups, bands, theater troupes, vocalists and storytellers." Yep that's right. Magic is art now.
